I didn't think they sounded great on. X Factor, but then their recording content was very good. Not really my music though

Interesting take. With fake you can be at the top then you can be dropped like a hot potato

And here lies the problem. People make me sick

This is really nieve. He looked calm so he's fine right?



Oh FFS!!!!!! Really. Just bloody ridiculous

I agree

Bless you. Tbh, it has played on my mind a lot since I heard. I'm not invested in Liam or the band. Don't listen to their music, but they were part of my childhood just watching them on. X Factor. I just feel so sad for him that he felt he had no other way out. The thought of him jumping is just beyond horrible.

Oh thank you Thomas. Bless you too.

That's what I thought. Such a shame he didn't get the help he needed. I think men find it harder to talk about their problems.
So they usually keep everything inside.

Police say his Girlfriend
left Argentina 2 days before this.

Sounds like a spur of the moment decision, probably made because if rage and drugs, wish I could say he will live to regret it, but unfortunately I cant.

I think that was his ex-girlfriend as she snapchatted with his current gf yesterday?

OK

That snapchat

Sitting at a huge table, miles from his gf. saying its a beautiful day outside (clearly grey and cloudy) sad face then smile, sad face then smile - having breakfast at 1pm (what did he do all day?)

Seems like drugs and drink became what he did in place of an actual job?

He posted an hour before his death " 'happy to have some time away' - away from what I wonder as he hasn't really done anything since that band split. I guess too many sycophants around him trying to get at his fame and money..

He was a very rich man. Mostly from his One Direction days.
He doesn't look happy at all there sadly.

I watched the video. A very unhappy soul.

I don't think he was happy at all imo.

So shocking, I wasn't really a fan of 1D but I always rooted for their success and I liked hearing about updates on the band members lives. Liam was younger than me, a very sad loss.

no that would be my take as well

In the last hour, we've received audio of the emergency call placed last night by the hotel where Liam Payne was staying.

The exchange between the hotel desk manager and the 911 operator reveals the frantic exchanges in the moments before the star's death.

A full transcript of a translation of the call is below:

911 operator: "What is happening sir?"

Hotel manager: "We have a guest drunk with drugs and alcohol. When he [them, gender not clear in conversation] is conscious, he is breaking everything in the room."

911 operator: "You said alcohol and drugs..."

Hotel manager: "This is correct."

911 operator: "You said Costa Rica intersecting where?"

Hotel manager: "Costa Rica 6032."

911 operator: "Repeat."

Hotel manager: "Costa Rica 6032."

911 operator: "What is the hotel called?"

Hotel manager: "Caza Azul Palermo. We need to send someone with urgency because I don't know if the guest's life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life."

911 operator: "How long has he been there? Is it a long stay hotel?"

Hotel manager: "(The guest) has been for the past three days."

911 operator: "You don't any other information because you can't get in. Right?"

Hotel manager: "No."

911 operator: "We are also notifying SAME (Medical Emergency Attention Service)."

Hotel manager: "We are asking to send someone with urgency because..."

911 operator: "We are doing that. Any other data to give me. Who are you?"

Hotel manager: "I'm the desk manager."

911 operator: "Person in charge of the place."

Hotel manager - "Yes."

911 operator: "It has been notified. What is your name, sir?"

Hotel manager: "Esteban."

911 operator: "Thanks for calling. Be online."

Hotel manager: "Are you sending police too."

911 operator: "Police from the delegation... Let me confirm."

Hotel manager: "No, no, only SAME, only SAME (Medical Emergency Attention Service)."

911 operator: "Don't worry because they have already been notified."

Hotel manager: "Because as you said he is under the influence of alcohol and drugs, SAME personnel can't enter alone."

911 operator: "You can ask that to the police, but if SAME needs them, they will notify you."

Hotel manager: "Good, OK, perfect."

911 operator: "Have a good day."

Hotel manager: "Thanks, you too."

Poor lad.
Depression, drugs and alcoholic don’t sit well together.
So young to die. R.I.P.

This death has hit me pretty hard I won't lie. Think it's because I will always be such a massive x factor fan so I've followed his career for a long time. And he's a similar age to me. Its really tragic

I strongly disagree Alf he's presenting in this video as quite troubled, "currently seeming calm" means nothing (although I wouldn't even say that's accurate, he seems tense). A lot of his recent videos have this energy.

Also they've just woken up and - by all accounts - Liam was suffering g with quite severe alcohol and (various) drug issues so at the time of the incident will have been in a very different state of mind.

I think it will either turn out to be an accident due to being erratic and extremely intoxicated, or an "unplanned" impulsive suicide (again while heavily intoxicated).

Aww Jake bless you. Love this. It's so beautiful and sad :bawling:

He's also openly talked about previous episodes of suicidal ideation and has had recent negative stories come out about him/negative social media attention, so I think it's fairly likely.

Where was that? They speak good English

Exactly. He seems somewhat tense to me. Doesn't look happy at all.

What evidence is there that he was an alcoholic

Is there any or is that totally anecdotal?

He said himself. Was recently on rehab, but must have relapsed.
